Dettlaff - Tumblr Posts
Don’t piss him off.
no cause I feel like I’m on to something here-
‘old man’ yaoi where the ‘old men’ in question are technically very old/immortal, but physically look like they’re max 40
Unsuccessful sketches :"
I'm trying to teach myself how to draw detlaff, who i find very difficult to 'get right', and while i was leaving my comfortzone, i thought, "why not go all the way and add colour?".
It probably doesn't look like much in this vast sea of fanart, but for me it is quite an improvement. :) colouring things always scares me terribly - almost as much as uploading!
And, for some reason, he kind of looks like bela lugosi?

The Servant of a Vampire Part 3
You had now been walking around for a while, slowly losing hope. There'd be no way you would ever survive in Toussaint. You stumbled into a clearing and groaned in exhaustion. This... Is... Crap...
"Hey. A human!" A voice yelled.
You snapped your head up. A group of bandits were chilling in front of you, a small fire in front of them. You raised your hands and shuffled backwards. These guys could be cannibals. The bandits all cheered and one stood up. He didn't have a knife in his hand nor did he have a crazy look in his eyes. His smile was kind, tired.
"Don't worry, friend. We're all in this together." He said gently. "I'm Eevra. This is Vincent and that over there is Samuel. We have others but they're tending to the wounded."
You hesitated and looked at the outstretched hand. He was... Being kind? You slowly shook his hand.
"*Name*." You looked around. "Where am I?"
Eevra shrugged. "Nowhere. In Toussaint. Somewhere in the forest."
You sighed and looked up. You saw Delenfer Pass and your hope rose up. You will get out of here! You will get out of Toussaint! Eevra put a hand on your shoulder and you startled.
"Come. Have something to eat. You look exhausted." He pushed you towards the camp fire gently and you saw a rabbit roasting on a stick.
You crouched and took a bit of the rabbit, sniffed it then tore a piece of meat off with your teeth. You chewed for a bit and swallowed then chewed another bit. Vincent, a chubby looking guy with a mop of blonde hair and blue eyes, smiled.
"Where ye goin'?" He asked.
You swallowed the meat. "Delenfer Pass. Need to get out."
Everybody looked at each other and then laughed. It was loud and echoed around the clearing, making you think that you guys would be spotted and taken by vampires. Vincent gave you a mean smile.
"Listen here, mate. Ye can't get out of Toussaint. The Blood suckers made sure of that." When you frowned he chuckled. "In other words: Delenfer Pass is guarded."
You swore quietly and looked at the ground. Well that plan got chucked out the window. Now what? Eevra pat your shoulder.
"Don't worry, *Name*. You'll be fine. Just stay with us and we'll take care of you." He said in a gentle voice.
You smiled at him and ate the rest of the rabbit. You, Eevra and Samuel, who was a skinny tall man with a bald patch in his hair and narrow eyes, talked and you got to know each other. You learned that Eevra took old women and injured people under his wing. There was a woman named Nettle who was sick and the medicine she required was in Beauclair.
You offered that you could go to Beauclair and Eevra thanked you for that. Samuel tried to tell you that it would be dangerous but you waved that warning away, telling him that you didn't have much of a reason to exist. Your parents were dead and you had not much of an idea of what to do. (Perhaps join your siblings in Oxenfurt if you have siblings).
"Now that's depressing. Besides. A pretty lass like ye will be the Kings Whore. I tell ye that *Name*. Watch and learn." Vincent scoffed, interrupting the conversation.
You scowled at him. "What's his problem?" You asked Samuel, pointing a thumb at Vincent.
"Unsure. He is from Skellige and hasn't told us much about his old life." Samuel said and you sighed then yawned. "Take my tent."
You frowned. "You sure?"
Samuel nodded, his brown hair swinging a little. "I'm sure. I've got night shift."
You thanked him and stood up. You went to the tent and curled up on the ground, not wanting to sleep on the straw mattress because you didn't want to intrude. With the memory of your parents death in your mind, you went to sleep dreaming of a vampire with black hair slicked back and icy blue eyes. A vampire that stared at you coldly. A vampire that looked creepy...
'Speak, Vampire! Tell us what you want!'
'I invoke the Law of Surprise!'
The Servant of a Vampire Part 13
I'm so excited for Part 16 y'all! I can't wait to make it cause then we're gonna go for nice and sweet.
You woke up gasping for air. Everything hurt and you were sure you were going to have a headache for three days. You groaned and sat up, or tried to.
"Careful." A soft voice said quietly.
You blinked and looked up to see Regis in front of you. He was smiling. You laughed with joy and tackled him. You wrapped your arms around him, smiling with joy.
"Regis!" You said with joy and relief.
Regis chuckled and patted you on the back. "Good to see you too. Good to see you too."
Someone cleared their throat behind Regis and you looked up to see a man. He had white hair pulled back into a ponytail and a duck chin with a moustache. He had his eyebrows raised and you got off Regis.
"Who is he?" You asked.
"Oh. Geralt. This is my good friend *Name*. *Name*, meet Geralt. He is a Witcher." Regis introduced and you held out your hand for him to shake.
"Nice to meet you." You said politely.
"Likewise." Geralt said, shaking your hand.
"So. What were you up to when Geralt and I were cowering in Tesham Mutna?" Regis asked with a smile.
You laughed quietly. "Oh gods... That'll be a very long story." You muttered under your breath.
"And I have a feeling this story isn't finished." Regis said with amusement.
"We have time." Geralt said and leaned against a wall.
"Well..." You said. "Okay. So when I found a vampire having my parents as lunch I ran away. I got into this forest and got knocked out."
And so you told them about your adventure. You told them about Aqie the drowner, about leaving the cave and stumbling upon a group of bandits, of having to go to Mere La-Chaiselongue Cemetery to get medicine for Nettle but then you got caught (Geralt chuckled at the rooftop running part) and then becoming Dettlaff's slave.
When you mentioned being his slave Regus had a proud smile while Geralt looked like he'd been slapped with a fish. You looked at Regis with a frown.
"You need help of some kind. Why are you looking proud?" You asked.
Regis shrugged. "No reason." He glanced at the setting sun. "You'll have to go back. Dettlaff will be worried."
You honestly forgot he existed. You sighed and got up then stretched. You gave Regis one last pat on the head then turned to Geralt.
"Treat him right. If you two ever get married, invite me."
Then you walked away.
When you got back to the palace Dettlaff ran to you.
"Where were you?" He growled.
"Went for a walk. Fell asleep." You shrugged, giving him the half lie.
Dettlaff sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Alright. Fine. Just. Wash up. Have breakfast then go visit Dominic. He misses you."
You curtsied and ran off to do his orders. You washed your face then went to the kitchen to eat the breakfast Dettlaff left out for you. It was delicious. It had the taste of Nazair and smelt like that recipe your mother tried once. What was it called? Cinnamon pancakes? You sighed and finished then stood. A wave of dizziness hit you and you swayed, grabbing the edge of the table.
"Rhen! Where were you? I was so worried."
"A group of bandits attacked me. They... They raped me Dettlaff!"
"Shh... Shh. I'll get you a bath and then I'll make you pancakes. Okay?"
"I'm so glad you only make your favourite Nazairi food for me."
"Only for you. For the pancakes symbolise love and friendship in Nazair."
"I love you. But I'm not hungry."
"But you-"
"I just want to be with you. Mon cheri."
You blinked and opened your eyes. Your head was pounding with another headache and you stumbled out of the kitchen and down the hall. You went to the playroom and smiled when you saw Dominic. He was scrubbing shoes once again. You walked up to him.
"Guess all work and no play?" You said in a light tone.
Dominic looked up and grinned. "*Name*!" He jumped up and gave you a hug.
You chuckled and rubbed his hair. "Hey little guy."
Dominic let go of you and grabbed your hand. He dragged you to his spot and chatted quickly and excitedly about his day.
"Dettlaff gave me pancakes today! And! He said he was gonna adopt me! And he was very worried about you! And! And! And!"
"Calm down." You said.
Dominic turned to you. "I want to adopt you as a mother." He announced.
You were shocked. "Adopt?"
He nodded.
"Me?"
Another nod. You sat down and huffed with shock. Wow. A kid wants to adopt you. You grinned. You always wanted a kid. You looked up at him and nodded.
"Sure."
Dominic hugged you tightly. "Yay!"
You smiled and hugged him back. Then he let go of you. Dominic then proceeded to tell you everything about his day and you listened with interest.
The Servant of a Vampire Part 14
The following Parts are inspired by whatever I remember from Beauty and the Beast (Original version). Enjoy!
Dettlaff watched you talking to Dominic with a smile on his face. He leaned against the door frame and crossed his arms, not even taking his eyes off you. He swore to protect you. And he'll keep that promise. Then he got an idea. He may not know how to rule humans but you would. He cleared his throat.
"*Name*!" He called out.
You:
You were looking at Dominic's drawings with interest. Soon he would draw like a professional. When you heard Dettlaff calling your name you jumped and looked around. You looked back at Dominic and grinned.
"Duty calls." You said apologetically.
Dominic pouted. "Oh. I was having fun." He whined and then sighed. He stood up and hugged you. "Bye Ma."
You were so going to have to get used to him calling you 'Ma'. You gave him a pat on the head and stood up. You turned and walked to Dettlaff.
"Yes?"
"The people... I'm confused on how to rule Toussaint." Dettlaff said.
Now that was a surprise. You blinked. "And you want my help?" You asked slowly.
He nodded. You frowned and thought about the advice you should give Dettlaff. Then you got it.
"First things first the whole 'Humans are Slaves to Vampires' has to go. Then I'll think of something else." You said.
He nodded and smiled. "I'll tell the vampires to leave the humans be." He then looked at the ground with a frown, probably contemplating something. "I'll also give you your own room. Next to mine of course but not connected."
You smiled and curtsied gently. "Thank you."
The vampire who lied to the bandits:
Brenda watched Dettlaff and you talking with a scowl. You were stealing Dettlaff from her! She hated that! Then an idea struck her. Her lips curled into a malicious grin and she stepped into the shadows, letting the shadows conceal her.
Two days later
You were asleep on the most comfortable bed you've ever slept on when you felt someone jump on you.
"Ma! Ma!" Dominic's voice screamed above you.
You opened your eyes and yawned. Dominic kept shaking you. (I'm not a weather expert. I failed in Geography.) You sighed and woke up.
"Yes?" You asked.
"Get up! Get up! Get up!" He screamed. "It's snowing!"
You pushed him off you and got up. You looked at the window and saw snow falling to the ground delicately. You grinned and looked at your adopted son. He was already grabbing a dark red dress with fur on the collar and sleeves out of the cupboard. The collar was high and the dress looked suitable for the weather. He chucked it at you and raced to the door. He stopped and looked at you.
"Get dressed!" He said excitedly, bouncing on the balls of his feet.
You sighed and shooed him out the room. Then you got up and put the dress on. It was comfortable. When you walked out of the room Dominic grabbed your hand and raced down the hall, giggling with glee and joy. You grinned and let him drag you outside. When you were outside Dominic let go of you and ran to a pile of snow. He bent down, grabbed it and rolled it into a ball.
You didn't see what he was doing. You were distracted by the winter wonderland around you. When you felt something wet and cold hit your neck you froze and glared at Dominic, who was laughing. You bent down, grabbed some snow, rolled it into a ball and threw it at him. And that was how your snowball fight started.
Dettlaff:
Dettlaff leaned against the balustrade of his balcony and watched you and Dominic have a snowball fight. He smiled softly. He felt an alp walk up to him from behind but didn't look at her.
"I want to do something for her. But what?" He asked her.
Brenda snorted. "Flowers, chocolates, promises you don't keep."
The alp glared at her blood sister. "Ignore Brenda. Listen to the most romantic idiot." She walked closer to Dettlaff. "Something they'd enjoy. Something like..."
She hummed and then had an idea. She grinned and told Dettlaff her idea. Dettlaff smiled and nodded. Brenda scowled at the idea.
Two hours later and you were standing in front of two, large silver doors with white swirls painted on them. Dettlaff looked at you and smiled gently.
"I... Want to show you something." He said softly.
He grabbed the handles and opened it a little bit then thought of it better. He closed the door and turned to you.
"But first. Close your eyes."
You made a face and he gave you a look that reminded you of a puppy. You sighed and closed your eyes. You heard him open the door and Dettlaff grabbed you by the wrists. He gently led you inside the room then stopped you in what you thought was the middle of the room. Suddenly, blinding light hit your closed your eyes and you turned your head.
"Now." He had a hint of excitement in his tone.
You opened your eyes and gasped. It was a library! A huge library! The ceiling was silver and domed and arched high above your head. Beams supported the ceiling and were painted a rose gold colour. You looked at the walls and found that shelves were carved into the silver walls and books were pushed onto the shelf. The bookshelves towered high above your head and had gorgeous swirly designs etched into them. A staircase with a gold bannister and white marble stairs polished to perfection curved around the room, getting close to the walls so you could grab whatever book you fancy.
You turned around with a smile on your face. "Wow..." You breathed out. "I..."
You turned to Dettlaff who was looking at you with anxiety. You laughed and gave him a hug.
"Thank you!" You said with joy.
Dettlaff smiled softly and hugged you back.
The Servant of a Vampire Part 15
Dettlaff... You couldn't get him out of your mind. You paced the room again and chewed on your nail. You couldn't stop thinking about his kindness. You groaned and clutched at your hair. Hopefully you'll stop thinking of him. Maybe it's nothing. You heard the footsteps of Dominic running down the hall laughing and squealing at the top of his lungs. What the...? You thought to yourself and poked your head out of your room. Dettlaff was chasing after Dominic, who was holding one of Dettlaff's shoes. You laughed quietly and shook your head before closing the door. Kids...
Suddenly you thought of something to repay Dettlaff! You could bake for him! With a smile you left the room and walked down the hall.
Brenda:
Brenda walked up to the group of bandits near Delenfer Pass and smiled.
"Greetings boys." She said.
The bandits cheered and raised bottles of alcohol. "Brenda!" They cheered.
"We missed you." One said.
"Aye. So. What are we doing today?" Another asked.
Brenda grinned. "Getting rid of the person stealing my Dettlaff. What do you say, boys?" She held up a money pouch but they waved the pouch away.
"We're your... What do the vampires call their friend group? Pack? Right. We're your pack Brenda. What you want we get you." The leader said.
"Aye!" The rest agreed.
Brenda smirked. "Brilliant... Here's the plan..."
You:
You dusted your hands off and wiped them on the apron. You looked at the cake in the pan with pride. You weren't that good with baking but you think you did well. You put the pan in the oven and turned around, taking off the apron.
You heard the swishing of fabric against legs and raised an eyebrow. Who wanted to talk to you? The vampire who lied to the thugs walked into the kitchen. You noticed she had black hair that tumbled over her shoulders in curls. She walked up to you.
"You have to leave." She said.
You tilted your head. "Why?"
"The King doesn't want you anymore. Leave. Leave Toussaint." She snarled.
For some reason that hurt. You lowered your head and nodded. "Of course. Bye."
She scowled and you exited the kitchen. You had no belongings so you left Beauclair with nothing but the clothes on your back. Your bare feet ached on the path but you ignored the pain and kept walking. When you got to Delenfer Pass you stopped.
"Ohh. Look at this boys. A lovely little bird is trying to leave Toussaint!" A mean voice said and someone grabbed you from behind, covering your mouth so you wouldn't scream. "Well tough luck bitch. You're not." They whispered in your ear and then they laughed.
Cliffhanger! And dramatics!
Dettlaff: *Murders someone*
Me: Aww. He's upset. Imma get the blankets and cookies and hug him.
Dettlaff:
Me: He's cute as FUCK
Dettlaff: *Stabs me*
Me: You're upset aren't ya. Sorry.
